Two alleged hate crimes have been reported in Davis in the past week, according to the Davis Police Department.

On Wednesday morning, Lt. Paul Doroshov said, police responded to reports of possible hate speech painted on a bike path near Olive Drive. The path is littered with a swastika and the N-word.

On Friday, a noose was discovered dangling from a goal post on the Davis High School football field, according to Doroshov.

"Now, I just feel unwanted. I feel disrespected being an African-American here at this school," said Amani Jones, president of the Black Student Union. "Whoever did this should be ashamed of themselves."

"This isn't a good day for Davis. We are better than this," said Mayor Joe Krovoza. "I would love to have the person that did this come forward and apologize to the community."

People in Davis said they believe the person behind the crimes intentionally committed them around Juneteenth events celebrating the end of slavery.

"It was calculated," Krovoza said.

"They are sending a message, 'We are against Juneteenth,'" said Timothy Malone, a Davis resident.

Malone and several dozen other Davis residents gathered inside the Davis High School library to talk about the crimes and to send their own message to the rest of the community.

"This is 2012, in what's supposed to be one of the most liberal and progressive cities in the nation," Malone said. "You need to learn to accept all people."

In the past 10 years, police were able to identify at least seven hate crimes where young people were responsible.

While Doroshov said police suspect a young person could be behind these latest crimes, he said they really aren't sure.

Doroshov said he hopes someone will come forward with additional information.

"Any time you have a crime like this, it's a huge concern, that threat assessment aspect, what is the underlying issue we need to focus on," Doroshov said.
